Food was great and the menu had great selections for sushi/proteins. We def enjoyed our time here and will be back !“

“Wow. Just had the most amazing sushi experience. New place Roku near our house. A curated experience with individual accompaniments with each fish type. This was the Sashimi presentation with more exotic fish. All are aged fish which added to the evening“

“Best ayce sushi in the entirity of Sacramento County. Our server, Julian, was always on top of it and made excellent recommendations. The quality of fish and variety of appetizers were top teir. I would not mind going the extra mile to stop by Lins Garden.“

“Came Friday dinner, around 7pm, busy, ~80% full, took ~40mins for the food to start trickle in. The deep fried gyoza were not hot when came out. Surprisingly were only warm. Tried bento box 2 items: sashimi and teriyaki beef. I enjoyed the salad more than expected. Love the house sauce. Teriyaki beef and sashimi were decent. My husband ordered a roll, can't remember the name now, it's decent as well.“

“Silver Sake “Where Everybody Knows Your Name”. This is the go to place for sushi. It’s more than good food. It’s an experience. The staff from chefs, wait staff, to kitchen staff, greet, engage you with friendly smiles. The food is always amazing my kids enjoy their chef choice (Omakase) rolls. Matter of fact we always leave it up to the chef to make whatever they see fit to serve us. Never been disappointed and always left our appetites pleasantly satisfied. When it’s time to leave, as you walk out the doors, you’re always sent off with “ We’ll See You Tomorrow”. It takes every ounce of willpower to not return the next day.
Silver Sake Carmichael’s Hidden Gem!“

“So far, I have tried the following gimbap, spicy pork, beef bulgogi, and the seoul 1979. Didn't like the seuol one - not enough ham it so you cant really taste it. The beef bulgogi is good, but I loved the spicy pork one. Good flavor and has a little kick to it. I also tried the korean corn dog, and it was ok. I didn't like the sausage inside. Service is friendly. They have a lot of different items to try so definitely will be back.

Update: Went back again and I finally tried a different dish which as the chicken kansu curry which was so good. Chicken was super crispy and not dry. Comes with a side of curry, cabbage and rice. All.of ot was yummy!“

“Great sushi amazing staff, would recommend and give a 5 star“

“Visiting from out of town, I wanted authentic Japanese food, and this restaurant delivered. The service was kind and welcoming, even guiding me through dishes I hadn’t tried before. The tonkotsu ramen was rich, flavorful, and comforting, while the matcha dessert was light and refreshing. The décor, with lanterns and bamboo accents, made me feel transported straight to Japan.“

“I've come here multiple times and will keep coming back! I will be honest and say that they have messed up my order multiple times, but they where always willing and ready to correct it. The staff are all extremely friendly, especially the sushi chefs when you're seating by the sushi bar. 10/10, I will be recommending this place to friends“

“Teriyaki chicken and every meat taste really delicious and I really want to eat every day! Also, the Servers are really kind and helpful! I really like teriyaki grilled chicken in Arden mall!!“

“Fantastic food, diverse menu and great prices. Service is great“

“Service was ok. The roll we got was very good. Good rice to filling ratio and made well. I enjoyed the mixed tempura as they used interesting vegetables like okra.Tasty, crispy, light batter. Could have been served hotter though. The only thing that was absolutely terrible was the $12 ribeye skewer. Worst I’ve ever tasted. Cold, old, tough, terrible marinade.“

“The broth was on hit! Even though I brought my own pepper sauce but the broth was cool. Out of all Shabu places I been this place gets a 10.“

“Checked Fuji out for brunch today. Cool atmosphere, great service, and excellent food. Big banquet room upstairs that holds 100 people. Excited to try them for dinner!“

“The best sushi in the area without question. They never skimp on portions and they always have the freshest fish, that just melts in your mouth. And of course, they always super friendly.“

“This place is such an amazing local gem! Its very casual atmosphere is welcoming, and gives off half Japanese bodega/restaurant vibes, as they have both imported goods and yummy eats. The staff is so friendly and honestly made it feel like family serving us. I felt like we were actually eating in a local restaurant in HI, their family is originally from HI, so man the local grindz and chill vibe was spot on. I had the sesame chicken bento box and tempura shrimp à la carte, hubby had a sushi roll with tempura shrimp, cream cheese, avocado, and salmon on top. Everything was really good, very fresh and so ono/oishii. Loved that the tempura and sesame chicken were battered not panko crusted, although they do have panko crusted things on the menu that I’m sure are super yummy. And we had to try their HI snow, which is actually legit HI shave ice, not shaved ice, actually soft shave ice. They even import their syrups from the islands. So so amazing. Thanks for the warm welcome for our first visit Kristy, hope I got your name right. Everyone should check out this place which has been around for nearly 31 years!! Can’t wait til our next visit, I’m glad our mom had a haircut near you guys so we could find you!“

“This place is a hidden gem! I’ve never ordered a wrong thing here —all of the ingredients are fresh and prepared with care. When you order a chef’s choice selection, they will sometimes include real wasabi (along with the regular paste wasabi that is more common at restaurants). The look of the restaurant, as well as the visual presentation of the dishes, are very pretty and photo-worthy. The A5 Miyazaki Wagyu is phenomenal. The paper hotpot was a unique and imaginative experience —no single bite was ever the same, but constantly evolving. Sometimes we want to just have a simple meal to feed ourself, and other times we are lucky enough to have a delicious meal and take part in a creative process. If you enjoy food and art then give this place a try.“

“This is one of the best Teriyaki place in the area! Consider this as a small mom and pop restaurant that gives you generous portion with flavorful taste. My personal favorite is Chicken Teriyaki and Chicken Katsu combo plate. My wife loves sushi so she usually gets Alaska Dream and Americano. We come here at least once a month and never get disappointed!“

“You know it’s real when I had to stop mid meal to leave a 5 star review. First of all, cutest packaging, so tasteful and intentional, not necessary but such a nice touch! Made getting takeout feel fancy. Friendly service. Everything tastes absolutely incredible. So happy to have found the best spot for sushi and it’s in midtown so close to where I live. This is amazing. Love this for me. Please go here.“

“The food is absolutely stellar and the servers there are top notch and know how to time the dishes well!“

“Been eating at Hana Tsubaki for 30 years and it’s consistently fantastic. The sushi is innovative and fresh and the salmon teriyaki is a favorite. Great saki selection as well.“

“Love this place. The food is just great. It is the best Sushi my wife and I have ever had. You have to try the Roseville Rolls which are fantastic! And the Lion King roll and Tiger roll are also wonderful. The portions are very generous and so many great dishes. Enjoy!“

“Great ramen place at the convenient location, easy to access with plenty of parking. Food is good, but the ramen noodle in the normal size maybe smaller than expected, it has bunch of bean sprouts inside, but the meat and egg is in good portion. So I would say get extra noodle on your order if you come for ramen.“

“It's a nice, quiet, cozy place to grab some tasty Japanese food. Tonkatsu ramen was really good, same with the spicy edamame. I only gave 4 stars because it's a bit pricy. Other than that, it's a really cute place with great service.“

“The food left a very positive impression and the portion sizes felt well worth the price. Everything tasted fresh and satisfying, especially the teriyaki chicken, which stood out as one of the best I have had. It is a place I would happily visit again and recommend to anyone nearby.“

“Came here like around a month ago and here is my honest experience
Service: The wait times are really long. At the start, I would get my food in around 5-10mins, but then as we ordered more and more food, the wait times get really long. They also forgot to bring our orders in several occasions like I would order sashimi and also a certain roll as well. I understand that they might be forgot one or more things, but at the same time, this happened several times as well. I think the worse part was that the server limited just our table to the amount of sashimi in a AYCE restaurant. I was shocked to see that happening and I was disappointed that they would do that to us.
Food: the food was pretty good and that’s the only thing that I would come for. The presentation of the food is pretty good and there’s several options to choose from
Atmosphere: Pretty small, but not too bad

Overall, I would like to see a change in their customer service since it looks like it feels disorganized. I will change the rating if there are some changes.

Update: came back here today and their service is a lot better for sure. I got my food and service within a reasonable amount of time. definitely will come back again“

“Solid food with a wide variety of menu items, casual vibe, and excellent service. Our waitress was so invested in our comfort the entire time. She was always refilling waters, getting us more napkins or small plates or ginger, and asking if we needed anything. We were a huge group and she was MOVING to accommodate all of us- it was really nice to feel so valued! Would definitely come back just for the service, but the food was also good!“

“wonderful little place. clean, excellent service, outstanding food. try it when you get a chance.“

“great family restaurant. friendly staff.“

“1st time trying Ju Hachi On New Years, and here's my Sacramento Downtown reality check.

Ju Hachi is a spot where fresh shipments of fish come first, and you can Taste it immediately. Clean cuts, fresh, succulent and juicy - the Chefs choice sashimi of the day was ocean trout + hamachi + salmon. For the fitness folks that need high protein macro friendly eats, Ju Hachi is your spot.

For service pacing, the holidays are times we're most businesses are understaffed and patience is truly needed with compassion to understand the service here stands out because they are focused on making sure we have a quality meal despite high volume customers in a small packed place.

Ambiance, the aesthetics makes the place great for family , business meetings, or even bonding time for folks that want to escape work chaos. The music playing was the 90's and 2000s RNB so - best believe it was a vibe.

Tip : sit at sushi bar if you can, order with intention, and build in a little grace and compassion because good food takes time, and so do the folks that make this place possible.“

“NEVER had anything substandard here. Our entire family regularly dines here for lunches (with the grandchildren & their friends after school); and family dine-out night (weekly). We LOVE the tofu AND the Salmon Bento. Huge portions! ??????????“

“The flavor of this place has had me coming back for decades. Plus family owned and I love their faces 🥰“

“Food is fantastic! Service is a bit clunky, we didn't get some of our dishes until we were almost ready to go. Atmosphere is a bit open and noisy depending on how many patrons are dining. All in all, strongly suggest you go for the food. You can always get it to go.“

“variety looks so fresh and delicious! bringing a friend for our first visit to Vacaville location on Sunday..can't wait!“

“Love this place. Great staff, great food. 100% recommended.“

“I eat here every week with my dad , food is great ,service great and prices are good“

“We are long time visitors to Blue Nami and we love the convenience and how easy it is to also order it to go, the atmosphere is really cool. Kind of feels like Pirates of the Caribbean in there. The food is delicious my favorites the yummy yummy roll, crazy fly the lion King and the Jack special. If you love sushi, you will love this place. It taste so delicious. I highly recommend giving them a try.“

“The menu has an amazing description of their pork. They were not exaggerating. The pork alone is worth the trip. Some of the best I've ever had. The ramen was good too with an option for extra noodles! Lots of variety on the menu with friendly, helpful staff.“

“Best option for food in the mall hands down!! You already breaking the bank why pay the price to on your health as well??? Eat healthy, feel better!!!! Yum . On my way to eat here second day in a row. Thank you for providing healthy option here in the galleria mall!!!“

“Excellent food & service.Great.“

“I have been here 3 times and have yet to be disappointed. We have enjoyed ordering a la carte, including trying out the Mystery Box, as well as the omakase dinner. Cannot complain. Food is high quality and beautifully prepared. Top-notch, in my book. Service is always efficient and pleasant. Makes for a very enjoyable time, consistently.“

“Edit: Updated to 5 stars, I was just hangry. Still love this place and will be back very soon for another Deluxe plate!!!

Love the food, one of my favorite places. But last time I used the online ordering system, it sent my food to the wrong location. I called to ask what happened, but what I was told is that all I could do is come pick up my already cold order. It was good but cold. Ill come back because I like the food, but customer service could use a little work.“

“Simply a marvelous surprise. Could well have been the tastiest restaurant meal I’ve ever eaten… it was that good.“

“I liked the sushi. The all you can eat menu is good and has a lot of items. I mostly like the shrimp tempura rolls and other sushi is good too. I did feel the sauce on some of the sushi made the sushi taste too sweet but overall a good dining experience. The garlic edamame is awesome, very garlicky and delicious, fried rice and miso soup was good. It's also nice to be able to order half rolls, that way you can try a bunch of different sushi“

“This is my favourite restaurant ever i go here all the time. from what i understand there use to be three restaurants with one owner, one on mack RD and there's one in Stockton city and the one on Kiefer Blvd. The restaurants closed or sold to different owners, the one on Kiefer Blvd is the best restaurant in sacramento i give it 10 out of 10. Best food in town.“

“try it out people always say they want something new something different. Well here's something different so try it out!“

“Honestly this place has the absolutely best food and atmosphere. I loved the outdoor misters. Highly recommend. Most important the staff was outstanding.“
